Center For Cartoon Studies

I am really mad at my boss right now. Three months ago I asked him for a Letter of Recommendation to send to a certificate school I want to attend. He still hasn’t given it to me.

The school, called the Center for Cartoon Studies, is entirely devoted to helping students become comic artists and helping them get into the industry. Having class for writing, drawing, and creating the stories and books, and classes explaining how to apply to an official publisher, indie publishers, and even helping plan for self-publishing. They cover everything from making the comics to explaining the kind of *financing* people need to understand to do well. I really want to attend, as not only does the school appeal to me, but so does the town it’s in.

Last week I got tired of waiting for it, so I mailed out my application without the letter. But I included a note say WHY it wasn’t there, and that I am still trying to get it, and that I’ll even deliver it to them IN PERSON once I finally *do* get it.

Today, I got an email from the school, saying that they needed the letter in order to add me to the student roster for attending this fall. I DON’T HAVE THE LETTER!!!

I could cry right now, because I REALLY WANT to go to this school and my boss (whether he means to or not) is basically holding me BACK from it. This is really hard on me.

Hand Lettering Practice #1

I haven’t been very happy with my handwriting for a while, so I’ve decided to try and fix it.

When I mentioned it to some relatives, they suggested I try learning/practicing calligraphy to achieve that. I didn’t do it for a long while, then I found a cute little kit titled “Hand Lettering Art Pack: A Guide to Modern Lettering, Calligraphy, and Art Techniques” by Lisa Engelbrecht.

So I’ve decided to give it a shot! I’ll keep you all posted as I work.

SmackJeeves

As of the 19th, I will no longer be posting my comic “And The Cat Said” on Patreon. Why?

Because now it has it’s own site on SmackJeeves! I will still be sharing news, updates, and WIPs here on Patreon, but there won’t be anymore pages posted. After all, Patreon is where the exclusive stuff is supposed to be, right?

Here’s the link if you want to find it!

Mouse Harry Sheet

A basic, non-color ref sheet for a crossover idea that’s been bouncing around the idea in my head.
I’d be happy to share the story if anyone asked. I may tell more of the story as I post sketches and continue the WIP I’ve been working on.

Procrastination

It’s amazing how much can get done, when it’s NOT what you’re supposed to be doing.

Gummy Revenge WIP

This would be the only reason I would buy them. (Except I’m too nice to do something like that)

Transformation WIP 2

Cleaned up and darkened the lines and made them easier to see. Next is the first set of inks.
Should I mention that this is for a crossover fan fiction idea I have? Kinda did but still.
It was started by me wanting to find a crossover story between some Mickey Mouse centered media (Epic Mickey, a video game series by Disney, was the initial one I was looking for but then the search became broader) and Harry Potter.
